The father is John Young of Fighting Sheepdog. His daughter gets to be trained by a USMC graduate. The pistol is a S&W Victory .22, a very modular design. The little loop on the back is “halo” made by Tandemkross — it prevents pinched fingers that seem to go with this pistol otherwise. The mag loader John is wearing on a lanyard is optional for Victory magazines but really, really helps with Ruger 2245 and MkIII mags. While I don’t see a muzzle brake as a need for .22 pistols, their prevalence at shooting competitions suggests that they do work well.
Liberty? Do you mean Victory?
Definitely. For some reason, the name of this pistol just isn’t registering correctly in my mind.
I hope that this will be me and my little girl in a few more years.
